Patent GB-2256335-A (GB)
Title: Filter system
Inventor: WILKINSON JAMES HEDLEY
IPC: H04N7/12
Filed: 1991-05-31
Abstract: A filter system for sub-band coding includes a pair of matched half-band linear phase FIR decimation and interpolation filters, wherein the decimation filter has predetermined integer tap coefficients and the interpolation filter has more taps than the decimation filter and provides perfect reconstruction. The tap coefficients of the matching interpolation filter are defined by solutions to a set of simultaneous equations derived from the zero terms of a half-band filter formed by the convolution of the decimation filter and the interpolation filter. The filter system provides for perfect reconstruction and linear phase. Improved rolloff and alias rejection characteristics are achieved by providing the interpolation filter with at least two pairs of taps more than the decimation filter, selected taps of the interpolation filter being set to the same values as corresponding taps of a predetermined half-band filter (eg. the decimation filter) and the remaining tap coefficients of the interpolation filter being defined by solutions to a set of simultaneous equations derived from the zero terms of a half-band filter formed by the convolution of the decimation filter and the interpolation filter. Applications may be in video recording, processing. <IMAGE>

Title: Signal processing method
Inventor: FURUHASHI MAKOTO
IPC: G10H3/12
Filed: 1991-08-14
Abstract: A method for processing a digital signal produced by digitizing an analog signal such as a musical instrument sound signal. When extracting a repetitive waveform portion or so-called looping domain, such looping domain having the highest similarity in waveform in the vicinity of both ends of the domain is selected. By applying the signal processing method to a sound source data forming apparatus, sound source data may be formed which is reduced in the looping noise and error caused by data compression and which is of superior sound quality. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in and relating to melting and refining magnesium and magnesium alloys
Inventor: WALLEVIK ODDMUND
IPC: C22B26/22
Filed: 1991-10-23
Abstract: Method and apparatus for melting and refining of metals such as magnesium and magnesium alloys by coating them with a molten salt which provides the heat. The method can be used both for melting of ingots and remelting of scrap or return metal. Metal is melted by pumping a molten salt mixture from a heating zone in a furnace and distributing it over the metal which is placed in a basket above the liquid level in the furnace. The metal melts and is removed immediately from the basket by the flow of molten salt mixture without being further heated. A molten salt mixture rich in calcium chloride and containing calcium fluoride is used.

Title: Induction means for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: SCHAEFER WOLFGANG
IPC: F02D9/02
Filed: 1992-03-20
Abstract: Induction means for an internal combustion engine comprises an induction duct (10), a throttle flap (11) carried by a shaft (14) having a diameter greater than the thickness of the flap, a potentiometer (12) for detecting the angle of deflection of the flap, and a full load abutment device, e.g. cooperating with an arm (15) on the shaft, for fixing the angle of deflection of the flap at full load. The potentiometer and/or abutment tolerance is selected so that 2.KETW + 2.AETW is substantially equal to 2.WSW - DAW, in which WSW  = the shaft shadow angle, i.e. the angle at which the point of the flap furthest from the shaft is spaced from the duct axis (18) by the shaft radius, KETW = the permissible flap tolerance angle determined by the tolerance of the potentiometer, AETW = the permissible tolerance angle for the abutment of the flap,       and DAW  = the difference angle by which the rear tolerance limit for the        abutment lies ahead of the rear limit of the shaft shadow.     The need for an adjustable abutment (screw 13) and a potentiometer trimmer (20) can thus be eliminated. <IMAGE>

Title: Ferroelectric liquid crystal displays
Inventor: YEOH COLIN TECK HOOI
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 1993-05-14
Abstract: In a ferroelectric liquid crystal display (1) the inter-pixel gaps are conditioned to improve the contrast of the display by applying a voltage (11, 13, 17) of such magnitude, polarity and duration to the display as to set all inter-pixel gaps in a predetermined state without altering the initial alignment of the pixels.

Title: Monitor for optical transmission system
Inventor: ISHIMURA KATSUHIRO
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 1993-06-30
Abstract: The system includes optical repeaters 1, each including an optical amplifier 6 and a control circuit 14 for controlling the optical transmission. Each optical repeater transmits management information to the next optical repeater. The control circuit checks and examines the status of the optical amplifier and obtains monitoring information. The control circuit generates management information in accordance with the monitoring information and the management information transmitted 16 from the upstream side optical repeater. The management information is converted 17 to an optical signal and transmitted to the next optical repeater. The management information includes an ID code for a failed optical repeater and the status of the failure. Thus the receiving station can determine failure of an optical repeater and the status. The priority of the management information can be changed by the receiving station, and thus the receiving station can detect the status of the optical transmission line. <IMAGE>

Title: Insulation material
Inventor: ELLACOTT STEPHEN DAVID
IPC: C23C16/26
Filed: 1993-08-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing refractory material comprising a shared, rigid carbon-fibre based cladding material which is coated as required by at least one layer of finely-divided graphite in a carbonisable vehicle which may be suitable resin solution. The coated surface is then heat treated in a non-oxidising atmosphere to carbonise the vehicle and the coated surface is then fired under reduced pressure in the presence of a carbon-rich gas such as methane to form a deposit of pyrolytic carbonaceous material in an outer layer of the area. The heat treatment stage may be carried out at a temperature gradually to, say, 400  DEG C and then brought up to about 900  DEG C, the subsequent firing temperature range being between about 970  DEG C and 1200  DEG C.

Title: Badges attachable by safety pin
Inventor: FLETCHER MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A44B9/18
Filed: 1994-03-30
Abstract: A badge has a body part (2) on which a safety pin (4) is mounted to attach the badge to the user's clothing. The pin is displaceable on the body part to and from a position in which blocking means (14) prevents the pin tip from being released from the pin guard (4b). The body part has retaining means to restrain the movement of the pin out of the blocking position. There is then less risk that the pin will be released inadvertently, leaving to tip free to cause possible damage. As shown, the retaining means are detent pips midway along a slot (6) accommodating the coil spring (4a) of the safety pin. Movement of the pin (4) between the blocking position and the releasable position may follow a simple rectilinear path, as shown, or a path comprising mutually angled portions (Figure 6). <IMAGE>
